First week of December 11/30 - 12/5 for sure
for the GGWU. Might go back the day after Christmas
like last year if our weather holds up. If it looks like ice - I
can't leave my farm sitters. Had a blast that week last year so
hope I get to go. Booked for GGWU, will have to book the other later.

Going solo. First 4 night in NYNY, second 4 nights in the Downtown Grand.

First time ever spending Christmas away from home so not sure whether to spoil myself on Christmas day in a fancy restaurant or do a nice cheap drink pub christmas. In Ireland no bars, restaurants or shops are open so it will be a real novelty.

But overall looking forward to my trip after a trying year. Going to try get to a few things that have been on my last 4 trip lists but still not managed. These include:

Slotzilla
A steak dinner
A fancy restaurant
Pinball hall of fame
Play in a poker tournament
Peppermill
Debbie's diner
Eat in a good BBQ place
Level 107 in The STRAT
Play in a slot machine tournament
Go drinking in Mr D's sports bar and grill
Try the food in Willis Island.

I know some of them are very mundane, but as a solo traveler it's important to stay busy.

But list keeps expanding while I read these forums in anticipation of going.

Joking aside, will most likely be there somewhere around the 22nd - 26th. Still deciding on venue, but thinking there is nothing finer than watching the Bellagio Fountains from Cosmo on Christmas Day...

Booking now, Dec 7-10. The Major League Baseball winter meetings are at this time so I strategically picked it as I like seeing some of my favorite players walk around. I met a bunch of them in 2016 here in DC and it was so much fun, now that it's in Vegas it will probably be 5 times as fun ha

Dec. 8-13. Quasi family get-together. Son and daughter-in-law from California, daughter from Florida, D-I-L mom from Texas. We're trying something different this year and will be staying in the Aria sky suites .

14-16 at Delano (for now...I also have Planet Hollywood booked, and we'll see what other offers may come between now and then)! It's technically the 13-16 as I fly out on the 13th, but don't get in to Vegas until after midnight. I opted for the extra day's resort fee rather than doing an early morning flight on that Friday, since it's only an extended weekend trip.
